Hi, my name is Kat. I have worked in the front and back house of many restaurants, and I have also seen the game from the perspective of an owner. Although many people like to embrace complicated safety procedures, I believe you can accomplish just as much with smaller supplies and procedures. If you are ready to strip down your safety procedures and figure out easier, more effective ways to keep your staff safe, please explore this blog. It discusses everything from finding the perfect non-slip mats to buying the best oven mats or hot towels. It also looks at specific supplies you can get to reduce your liability in certain areas. Thanks for reading!
When using machines to fabricate metal, one of the most common problems you'll face is overheating. When your machine tools become too hot, they can become damaged and can also become unsafe to use. You will need the right coolant and coolant pump to keep your machines cool.
Coolants and Lubricants
All lubricants are coolants, but not all coolants are lubricants. For example, air acts as a coolant but does not act as a lubricant. The lubricant reduces friction and is essential in some machining applications.
When the machinery or tool is kept cool by a coolant, it is less likely to warp, become discolored, bend, or fail. When a tool fails, you will have to incur the cost of replacing the tool and the piece you are working on might become damaged as well.
How a Coolant Pump Delivers Coolant
Air coolants are not as effective as other methods, and a pump might therefore be necessary to deliver a coolant that is water or oil-based. If you are concerned with a liquid-based coolant damaging the part, you can instead cool it using a mist. However, the mist may not cool your part effectively enough.
There are both low-pressure and high-pressure ways to deliver a liquid coolant. Flooding is a low-pressure method that washes chips away from the part. High-pressure methods blast away the chips and cool off the part. However, a high amount of pressure can be enough to break some tools and shouldn't be used in these cases.
Cool Your Machine Tool with the Right Pump
To adequately cool your machine tool, you will need a PSI that is high enough and you will need to check the range of pressure that the pump is able to generate. In some cases, a pump can have an output pressure of up to 2,500 PSI. You will also want a controlled delivery of the coolant so you can achieve predictable results.
Your pump will also need rugged construction so you do not have to worry about it leaking, and you will want a pump that can also run dry. While you will never want to run a pump dry if you can avoid it, some pumps can become clogged and run dry for a period of time. However, certain types of coolant pumps can run dry without becoming damaged. There are many coolant pumps on the market, such as the acp-2500hmfs-100. By doing some research, you will be able to find one pump that is just right for your project.
